I am > assuming that this is because the card is PnP. The 3c509's are softset. You can configure them statically (which you need to do) or by PnP (which you need to disable). Use the driver disk that was provided with your adapter or download the image from ftp.3com.com and use the install or 3c5x9cfg program to set it up. Use the `Auto Configure' button to get the best settings and Disable Plug & Play. Feed the settings given to the card to the ep device on FreeBSD and you will be set to go.
